After feedback from press, fans and streamers who had some hands on time with the game, the development team decided to push back Ghost Warrior 3’s release date in order to include some extra features and make sure the game will meet expectations.

"We’re making an ambitious game and unfortunately still need an extra few months to make sure it will stand up to the expectations of the fans. Our goal is to ensure Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 runs smoothly on all platforms, and right now we still have some important work left on optimising the game,” he said.

“This is our biggest project we’ve ever worked on and the entire team is pushing really hard to make the entire experience more polished. I really hope everyone will understand our decision and will wait the extra time to play something we’re excited about, and that will redefine our IP and the sniping genre as a whole. This is a new beginning for the Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise.”

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 will now be releasing 4 April 2017.
